Our Mission is to benefit and raise awareness of the community of people with spinal cord injury, illness, disease, and related conditions. The Organization will fulfill its mission by pursuing the following primary objectives: 

  • Provide members with an open forum for discussion and education (You can peruse our Blog with meeting notes and insights from members' personal blogs, links, and comments.);
  • Provide mentoring;
  • Organize adaptive and accessible events or activities;
  • Support other community efforts to increase awareness of and to improve the lives of people with disabilities;
  • Engage in such other general activities which are supportive of the charitable mission of the Organization.

Join us and bring a new event or place for us to try! We welcome anyone with an interest such as nursing students, physical therapists, doctors, and all persons with any kind of disability and their families. Our focus is primarily on paralysis, wheelchair, and adaptive recreation.

We are always interested in new sponsors for our group!
